So me and two passangers and my car almost died
!!!
So driving home after church today..
At redlight take off and about 5 seconds after the car starts to buck!
Wideband goes lean car barley idles! I jump out pump the hood and when i get out all i smell is gas! I immdeitaly get everyone out of the car unhook battery and start pushing the car away from the gas!
I was luckly only 5 min from my house so i pushed it home and right away spray degreaser and water all underneath car to clean it!
Come to find out my aeromotive pump broke! the plastic on the end cracked! And fuel was poring out!
So please this is a warning to anyone else running these pumps!
And as ___ as it seems you should always have a fire extinguisher in your modded car!
So this is a formal thanks to god for not igniting the gas on a 90 degree day under my car!
And keeping everyone ok!

oo0o0o damnn... good call getting everyone out. and pushing away. Fire extinguisher is probably good all the time even when not modded. As long as your safe thats all that matters. BE CAREFUL!

Glad you guys are OK though. Crazy that it would just be pouring out fuel.
